The golden sunshine shines on the sea, and the waves glow brightly under the sunlight.
If it weren't for the fish heads emerging from the sea, this would definitely be one of the most beautiful sights in the ocean.
The Sea Clan's actions were extremely fast. On the same day after the Sea King gave the order, several surrounding Sea Clan groups had launched an attack in accordance with the Sea King's order, because the Harbor City was originally built at the core of the Sea Clan, and everyone living around it
It is a large group of the Sea Clan. The Sea Clan's attack on Harbor City directly saves the time of mobilizing troops.
These Sea Tribe tribesmen launched their own attack without waiting for the Royal Court's elite to gather together. A group of Sea Tribe warriors swarmed directly onto the beach of Harbor City.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Waiting for them on the shore was the heavily prepared Harbor City garrison. Almost all of the five thousand garrison troops were deployed by Paul at the beachhead to prevent the Sea Clan from landing near Harbor City.
"Ah, ah..."
A large number of arrows were poured into the dense queue of sea warriors. To say that the queue may be a bit flattering to these sea warriors, in fact, they just crowded onto the beach one by one, and there were waves of strange sounds under the arrows.
Call.
The backbone of Paul's garrison is made up of veterans who have participated in the battle with the Sea Clan before, plus half of the new recruits. They have been trained for more than two months. Their combat effectiveness is about the same as that of the kingdom's ordinary regular army. It is definitely among the ranks of the Northland Army.
It is a weak brigade, and the crossbows in their hands are basically equipped with the standard equipment of the southern legions in the past, such as various powerful crossbows equipped by the elites of the North, and there is not a single Shenwei crossbow.
Such equipment, not to mention dealing with snow giants, whether it can break the armor of orc warriors depends on luck, but when they deal with sea warriors, the effect is surprisingly good. Compared with the main army in the North, they can deal with them all year round.
Different from the fact that they are all heavily armored units, the protection of the Sea Clan warriors is basically non-existent. The arrows fired by the garrison of Harbor City can easily pin these Sea Clan warriors to the ground.
Coupled with the fact that the Hai Clan warriors advanced in an extremely dense formation when attacking, there was no chance that these arrows would miss. Soon the entire beach was stained red with blood, and the bodies of the Hai Clan warriors were densely packed. Just the arrows
It caused thousands of casualties to the Hai Clan.
"Boss, these sea tribes are not very good. What's the difference between attacking like this and sending them to death?"
Because Paul deployed his troops at high altitudes, ordinary soldiers could clearly see the heavy casualties caused by bows and crossbows to the Hai Clan. The tension caused by the huge numbers of the Hai Clan just now was dissipated a lot.
Some soldiers even became slightly optimistic, because it seemed that killing these sea tribesmen was not much easier than killing their own animals.
It’s no wonder that these recruits are optimistic. These ordinary sea tribesmen are indeed not good in terms of strength or appearance. Ordinary sea tribes warriors are not much taller than dwarves, but their arms are thinner than humans. They have some advantages when fighting in the sea.
Once put on trial, they are worse than human civilians. It is not a big problem for ordinary people to have the courage to cut down a few sea warriors, let alone face these fully armed human soldiers.
It's just that the veterans are silent. Unlike the new recruits, they are not mentally disturbed on the battlefield. They know very well where the advantage of the Sea Clan lies. Their numbers, almost endless numbers, can make you weak.
After burying you in the sea tribe, the old pawn doesn't even want to waste the energy to speak now. He just wants to save his energy as much as possible to face the endless battle that follows.
The development of the war was almost the same as what the veterans knew. Although the Sea Tribe had several thousand people shot down by arrows, the number of Sea Tribe warriors on the beach increased instead of decreasing. The Sea Tribe warriors who followed directly stepped on them.
The corpses of his companions rushed up.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Keep shooting arrows!"
"Free Fire!"
"Shoot out all the arrows in your hands!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
In this case, the significance of volley fire is not great. Anyway, the arrows can cause casualties when fired. The volley fire will also affect the shooting frequency of some soldiers. Except for some powerful crossbows reserved for dealing with patrol guards, most of them
The crossbowmen began to use their skills freely. There was no shortage of supplies in Harbor City, especially reserves such as arrows. These archers might not be able to use up all the arrows even if their hands were swollen when they drew their bows one by one.
The casualties of the Sea Tribe are constantly increasing, but the Sea Tribe soldiers in the front row are constantly approaching the human front. It's not that these Sea Tribe warriors don't know fear, but that there are too many Sea Tribe warriors. They use
The dense formation advanced. Even if the sea warriors in the front row were frightened, they had nowhere to escape. They would only be pushed forward by the sea warriors in the back row. Many sea warriors did not even die from arrows.
Yanoshita was trampled to death by his companions after falling down.
"quick!"
"Kill that patrol guard for me!"
Although the first batch of sea warriors who rushed up were used as cannon fodder, there were still a few sea patrol guards among them. These sea patrol guards were nearly two meters tall, with big shoulders and round waists. Except for their lower limbs, which were fish-tail-shaped, they were all
He is no different from a strong human being, but he is particularly eye-catching among the sea warriors with an average height of 1.5 meters. If they get close to the front line, the threat they pose will be much greater than that of ordinary sea warriors.
Without the command of the commander, several accurate shooters in the team had already aimed at the patrol guards. These archers with strong crossbows and bows did not follow the large exile arrows just now. They were waiting for the patrol guards to appear. Their
The character is a bit like a hunter in modern warfare, trying to attack some valuable targets.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"Dang, Dang"
The patrol guards were quickly taken care of by a few sharp arrows, but these patrol guards were obviously not that easy to kill. Unlike the unprotected sea warriors, the patrol guards were considered the backbone of the sea clan.
They all held bone shields polished from the corpses of marine creatures. The skulls of some marine creatures were not necessarily much weaker than iron shields. The bone shields made naturally had good protective power. After several blocks, they protected their vital parts.
The arrow did not fall, but continued to approach the human line.
"boom!"
However, when the patrol guard approached a distance of more than ten meters, a black smoke rose from the human formation, followed by a huge bombardment. The bone shield that had blocked several arrows for him was shattered, and his back
There was also a wound as big as a bowl. With this kind of injury, no matter how tenacious the patrol guard was, he didn't have the strength to struggle, and he fell straight on the beach.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Next, intensive gunshots were heard in the human formation, and black smoke rose from the formation. Many patrol guards who had broken through the arrows fell to the guns without any resistance.
At this time, the human side not only has thousands of garrison troops trained by Paul, but also system soldiers produced by Harbor City. The gunfire just now came from the third-level advanced unit of the Harbor Force, the pirate captain.
More than eighty pirate captains stood in front of the team with old-fashioned matchlock muskets in one hand and scimitars in the other. The muskets in their hands had a short range and slow shooting frequency, but they were definitely powerful enough. A distance of more than ten meters was where they could achieve maximum damage.
The range of force, let alone these patrol guards with simple armor, even a heavily armored knight cannot withstand a shot from the pirate captain. If the shooting frequency is not good, these pirate captains must be level 4 or even
Level 5 troops.
Under the attack of the pirate captain, the patrol guards in the Sea Tribe team fell to pieces, but it still did not slow down the pace of the Sea Tribe's attack. The Pirate Captain took a step back and returned to the formation, and the human soldiers in the front row leveled their spears.
The battle officially entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
"kill!"
"kill!"
When fighting against the Hai Tribe, you cannot rely on common sense at all, because under normal circumstances, no army would be willing to use light infantry to attack a dense gun formation.
Paul's layout looks like a perfect turtle formation from this era, with spears and shields on the outside, sword and shield men in the middle to make up for leaks, and some second-level soldiers and thugs from Harbor City mixed in. The higher ground in the middle is where the long-range is wrong.
There are even a few high-level combatants like Crocodile Warriors in the team.
If an ordinary army wants to break such a large formation, it has to slowly attack from a distance and harass a little bit to find flaws. How can it rush straight up like the Sea Tribe?
They probably had to collapse first due to serious battle damage.
However, the Hai Clan quickly proved with facts that quantitative changes are enough to lead to qualitative changes.
The Sea Soldiers in the front row were pushed by the back row and couldn't stop at all. They hung directly on the human soldiers' spears, and then skewered them one by one like meat skewers until five or six Sea Soldiers were skewered.
Until the soldier can no longer hold the spear.
The fighting soon entered the most brutal stage. As a large number of sea warriors rushed up, stronger patrol guards also rushed up. Ordinary sea warriors were not much of a threat until the human soldiers were exhausted.
But these patrol guards were different. As soon as the stone ax in their hands was smashed down, the human soldiers wrapped in the iron armor were still shaken to the point of bleeding and fell to the ground.
However, these patrol guards could not be arrogant for long. They were either directly caught to death by the sea eagles in the sky, or simply took a solid hit from the ocean warlock's destructive light ball. When facing the fourth and fifth level troops of the harbor forces, they
They are no better than those ordinary sea warriors who are like cannon fodder.
At the beginning of the close combat between the two sides, it was still a unilateral massacre of the sea tribe by the human army. Only occasionally there were scenes of a few patrol guards knocking down ordinary soldiers. However, after the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, the casualties on the human side also began to increase.
stand up.
The first to fall were the new recruits in the garrison. Ten minutes of high-intensity combat with armor was almost the physical limit of some of the new recruits. Basically, they were not killed directly by the sea warriors, but in a certain impact.
He fell to the ground and had no strength to stand up. Then he was pressed down by more than a dozen sea warriors who found gaps in his armor and killed him.
Only now has the biggest gap between the veterans and the new recruits been revealed. Most of the veteran soldiers who can save effort are still continuing to fight, while the new soldiers are starting to become more and more powerless because the Sea Tribe's attacks continue and there is no chance to rest at all.
Well, after the battle lasted for more than half an hour, the soldiers who initially engaged had basically completely lost their combat effectiveness.
Even the speed of the second-level soldier fanatics produced by the system has been greatly slowed down. It is only a matter of time before they are completely exhausted. These sea warriors did not defeat the human army at all, but exhausted them alive and used their own lives to make them lose their strength.
The human troops on the shore were exhausted.
"Go to the reserve team! Hurry!"
Paul yelled hoarsely and ordered the reserve team to be put in. His eyes were red at this moment. He could expect that the Sea Clan would launch a retaliatory attack, but he did not expect that the Sea Clan's offensive would come so fast and fiercely. The defense line he deployed could only support one
When I was little, I started to show signs of being unable to hold on any longer.
After the reserve team was replaced, the battle line became a little more stable, but everyone knew that according to the Hai Clan's offensive method, the human soldiers had basically no chance to recover their strength, and it was only a matter of time before the endless Sea Clan soldiers were overwhelmed.
"We can only withdraw."
After the war progressed to this point, Paul actually realized that he had made a mistake. Preventing the Marine soldiers from landing on the beach could prevent the other party from easily deploying its troops, but he could not bear it and the other side did not take the lives of his own people seriously, so the force could not be deployed.
It doesn’t matter if you open it or refuel your tactics, there will always be a time when you are tired of killing and your physical strength is exhausted. Even if every soldier has killed at least a dozen sea warriors at this time, the opponent’s number still does not necessarily decrease in any way.
, causing damage seems meaningless.
It is better to defend in the city, at least there is a city wall to rely on.
But now that Paul wants to leave, the Sea Clan may not necessarily let him go. The two sides have entered a stage of close combat, and it is impossible to escape easily.
At Paul's signal, the long-range shooters fired two rounds of volleys to cover their retreat. However, they were caught up by the Sea Tribe again before retreating far, and almost caused a rout. Fortunately, Paul's ability to train and lead troops was good enough to stabilize the situation.
We were in a good position, but the situation became even more critical.
Paul could now see from a distance that some sea tribesmen who were stronger than the patrol guards appeared on the beach. Those sea tribes even wore armors that were more sophisticated than humans, and they also had metal weapons in their hands. Cannon fodder and attrition warfare.
The fight is almost over, and the bloodline warriors of the Sea Tribe are about to take the field.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Just when the Sea Tribe was gaining the upper hand, chaos suddenly appeared on the beach. A dozen humans over ten meters tall suddenly appeared in the middle of the Sea Tribe. They didn't even bend their bodies and jumped around at will among the dense Sea Tribe.
, trampled to death a large number of sea warriors with just a few feet.
"It's so dangerous. The Sea Clan's movements are so fast. I went back to the Northland and the battle ended up like this."
"There are so many sea people, Sandro, it's your time to show off."
